Introduction:

- Simple days and summer appears upon us with its usual sword and might, which always causes very severe anxiety for the people of the city of Aden and increases the difficulties of their lives in light of a deteriorating economic and service situation that has negatively affected their living lives, as the electricity situation is at the forefront of their concerns during the summer, which has remained The city of Aden is negatively characterized by a very harsh summer season during which the citizen experiences the most severe types of torment through power outages for long hours, which devastates their livelihood in light of the unmerciful heat for young and old...

* Cautious optimism for next summer*

The General Electricity Corporation of Aden enters next summer with cautious optimism for many reasons, the most important of which is that there are some important achievements in strategic projects in the infrastructure of the electricity system that have been completed at rates ranging between 80-90%, as it is expected to enter the President’s power station (PetroMasila). ) with a maximum capacity of 264 megabytes after completing the work of the 132kv energy drainage project, which was completely completed, and only some tests remain that will be completed within a month. Also among the strategic projects that have been completed at a rate of 70% is the solar energy project, which will introduce 25 megabytes in the coming weeks. He stipulates that the station will operate at full capacity within 3 months after completing the installation of the power discharge lines for the solar station. Among the important matters that were recently directed to enhance the generation capacity in Aden is the contract by the Prime Minister for a floating ship that generates 100 megawatts.

* In numbers, electricity generation hours in the summer *

For the first time in 9 years, we are entering summer and there are signs looming on the horizon, as the city of Aden’s loads reached 700 megabytes last summer for the first time, and through the generation that will be available next summer, we expect generation to exceed 600 megabytes, a precedent that we have not reached in 9 years. Years where generation will be divided:

Al-Rais Power Station (PetroMasila) = 264 MW 

Solar power plant = 120 MW only during the day

Floating ship station = 100 MB

Mansoura Power Station = 30 megawatts

Al-Haswah Steam Station = 30 MW

Khormaksar station = 20 MW

Leased stations = 100 MW

It is expected that operation next summer will reach 7 hours of operation in the event of what I mentioned above, compared to 2 hours of interruption  

* The peace map in the region and its impact on the electricity situation*

There is no doubt that the electricity file, although it is a service file, must be outside the political tensions taking place in the country, but the established fact is that this file is a purely political file and is used by all parties to implement their projects on the ground, and in the event that the peace agreement is signed, it is expected that This is reflected in the electricity file, as fuel and maintenance procedures for the stations require significant financial support, and in light of economic crises, the cessation of oil exports, and the deterioration of the currency, it is very difficult..

* Fears of fuel crises*

Although the Aden General Electricity Corporation, for the first time, enters next summer with an infrastructure that will help it provide electricity service in a stable manner, all these hopes always collapse if the fuel crises that the corporation has suffered from during the previous years continue. The corporation’s need consists of From:

- Raw fuel for the President station at a rate of 10 thousand tons per day

- Diesel fuel for Mansoura and Al-Haswa stations

- Diesel fuel for diesel power plants

Therefore, if fuel is provided in sufficient quantities and we work at a high pace to complete the strategic projects that are nearing completion, we expect that we will enjoy a cool summer in the city of Aden for the first time in 9 years.
